Colorado CATTLE Men Take a Very im-

Colorado Cattle Men Take a Very I'M
p0rtaht Step.
Denver, COL, July 20-A meeting of
Texas Cattle men, among whom were
Messrs. Il. o. Tardy & Co, of Texas,
and agents representing simpsons
cattle company ,of that state, was held in
the rooms OK the National cattle growers
associations and il was unanimously
voted that cattle now travelling north
| west ward be turned nack ward into
Texas. OF cattle Epw on the trail TO-
600 head have already entered Wyoming
and the remainder, sc, 0G0 in number,
sre reported in the yicinity OF the
Arkansas river. This action 10 q most
important one as 1t practically remove
from existence forever q long used cattle
trail Tor the transportation of
beef. Such u decision, fraught
with such vital results, was
only made after il became apparent that
no other remedy could be depeLdad ap-
on. In the spring these. cattle, aggre-
eating 10000 head, were started from tie
country extending 200 miles south OF
Fort Worth with Montana and Dakota
as objective points. The cause of the
trouble lies principally in the exsggerat.
ed nature OF the information affecting
the stock market. After the herds had
started last fall, it became known tina,
Wyoming wanted no cattle whatever
and besides was hostile, owing to the
rumored existence of Texas fever. Colo.
rado has @ sufficient number TO supp y
her own demand while Montana and Da
kota instead of famlshiiig for beef haf
plenty of steers of their own raising.
The emergency was such that the pm
eipal cattle owners whose stock was on
the trail hurried to Denver to consult
over the matter and the above
was the result accomplished. Mr.
Tardy and WI Davis OF Hugo, Uoio.
who were at.the meeting Of superinten-
dents and drivers along the trail. 1t is
thought that the struggling herds
between the Arkansas river, where the
great herds are nov grazing, and the
Wyoming line will be brought to Hugo
and thence shipped to Kansas City. In
going back the cattle now on the
Arkansas will have to travel 800 miles
before they reach their own range. Had
they NOT been stopped the whole 500
cattle would have been in Wyoming in
September. The failure to get cattle tc
market will have the effect of putting
about 5 $4,000, 600 worth of beef back into
Texas. which is already ovsr-stocked
thus driving prices down to ruinout
figure, and perhaps be the causes of the
failure OF several cattle men.

PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATE THEIR IA
PERs.-The Durham Tobacco Ftdnf, In
double-leaded editorial, makes proud men-
ton of the fact that in that issue sixteen
new advertisements appeared. In TIE
Times two weeks ago there were ten new
advertisements in last weeks issue, there
were nine and in our Issue this week there
are twelve. IT seems TO be rarity for the
Plant 10 have so many new advertisements
at once. but the Iimes is used to such
things. We may say in this statement we
do not include foreign advertisements
only those from honle.-C0Rc0rd Times.
All of which speaks we'll for the towns
of Durham and Concord. 1t shows that
they are thrifty and prosperous places and
that live. and progressive men are doing
the business there. Where you find tue
local papers we'll sustained it is an unmis-
taxable sign of an enterprising, wide awake
people, and these indicate prosperous
and progressive town.

LEAF will back them against any anna 'eur
club iii the State or elsewhere. Capt. Joe

We are determined not only to keep up

There are now more tobacco houses in
process Of erection here than ever before,
namely the mammoth brick warehouse Of
D. Y. Cooper, the stemming establishment
of Messrs. Allen & Ginter Of Richmond,

Raab, Clary Bros, Kelly & Homer, and
the extensive addition to Harris, Gooch s
Co.'S warehouse, all Of which are expected
to be completed by the 1st Of October,
make contracts approximating Ole hundred
thousand dollars.
The value of the GOLD LEAF as an adver-
Using medium is best attested 10y the use
made of It's columns by those who wish to
reach the largest and best class Of customers.
Many Of those whose advertisement now
appears in this paper. have been our pat
rons since it first started and the fact that
they stay with Us is the very strongest evil
dence that they receive the worth of their
money. And of course as the months go
by and or circulation increases its value
pondingly.
The sentiment is general that Henderson
will do bigger trade this fall than ever
before, and present indications point that
way. The merchants are acting upon this
theory and will make their arrangements
accordingly. 1t won't be many weeks be-
fore the fieecy staple Will start all the
ginning machinery to running, and then
Will come the new crop Of tobacco, and
business will fairly begin to hum. Let
the tidal wave OF prosperity come, our peo-
pie are ready and waiting.

Our TOBACCO MARKET-The HendeT-

Journal says: Though rival markets
exist and sell great deal of the weed, in
quiry brings out the fact that Henderson
has sold more tobacco this year than ever
before in its history. At the present rate
of sales ten million pounds would be a
pretty close estimate of the probable guam
tity to be sold this year. This promises to
be a notable year in the development of
Henderson, especially so far as tobacco
buildings are concerned" the correspond
ent continues, and then he goes on to name
various new buildings now in course Of
erection here, all of which have already
been mentioned in these columns.
